US Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, arrived on Friday for a visit to the US Pituffik Space Base on Greenland’s northwestern coast.
“Apparently, I’m the first vice president to ever visit Greenland,” Vance told U.S. troops gathered to welcome the couple.
As Vance spoke, he stood before dozens of military personnel seated at long tables, plates of food in front of them. After brief remarks, he joked, “I thought I was serving food, but it looks like everyone’s already got theirs.”
“What’s the plan from here, guys?” he joked.
Vance and his wife, Usha, were then guided to their seats, wedged between service members.
Earlier, upon entering the base, Vance was overheard saying, “It’s cold as s–t in here.”
